A POEM FOR JZ 

O JZ dear JZ

Our new leader you are

From humble beginnings

You’ve really come far. 

 

And now is your time

To shine and be strong

And make a real difference

And prove them all wrong. 

 

We hope you will show us

The man that you are

With the mind of a politician

And the voice of a rock star.

 We’re a Banana Republic

I’m hearing some say

But I think we are more like

A Choc Nut sundae. 

 

With some white and some brown

And some nuts in between

And a warm, rich black topping

With a dollop of cream. 

 

So we hope you’re a fighter

Who will fight the good fight

For the blacks and the coloureds

And indians and whites 

 

We hope you will lead us

With vision and grace

So we can become

A much better place.
